Epic 8 Day Kayaking in the Soča Valley, Slovenia

  • Location Slovenia
  • Price from £1,050.00

Highlights

Slovenia and its Soča Valley have become one of Europe's leading kayaking destinations. Nestled in the Julian Alps in the North West corner of the country, it is a short drive to its border with Italy where Europe's Emerald River, The Soča, lies. Crystal clear water, smooth limestone gorges, and sections for a wide variety of paddlers, the Soča Valley is entrenched in history and the heart of Slovene culture. The Soča River itself is known as the best kayaking classroom in Europe and is well suited for beginners all the way to grade 3 paddlers. Sharpen your skills, become more efficient in harder water and work on nailing lines with style. 

Our highly qualified and experienced coaches will spend time observing and analysing your existing skill set and performance on the river. They will discuss your individual needs and goals for your time with us, enabling us to work together to get the best outcome for you. This course is run in small groups of up to 4 people, larger group bookings of up to 8 can also be accommodated. In this course, you will experience the benefits of peer learning and shared experiences, but the emphasis is very much on you. We aim to have you leave your time with us with improved boat control, confidence and invigorated enthusiasm for white water kayaking. 

We pride ourselves on proving a truly immersive and cultural experience for those who join us on our expedition. We provide all coaches, river guides, accommodation, meals and transport (excluding flights) so that after a hard day on the river you can relax, unwind and take in the breathtaking views.

Day 1

Arriving in Slovenia, we'll meet in Bovec, a small picturesque mountain town in the Soča Valley that will be our home for the next 7 days. Those that choose to fly into Ljubljana Airport can be met by arrangements to transport you to Bovec. Upon arrival, we'll meet in time head out for dinner where everyone will experience a traditional Slovene meal. This also provides a great opportunity for everybody to initially get to know each other, discuss the coming week and enjoy some great food.  We run a number of evening workshops to help our coaches build up a picture of you, your goals and aspirations for the week, and to bond as a group. During these workshops, there will be a general equipment check to make sure everybody is adequately prepared for a week's worth of paddling.

Day 2

The second day is all about suiting up and getting out there for a day of white water kayaking! Our experienced coaches will spend a great deal of time observing you and the group, analysing your paddling and performance on the river and applying some progressive coaching to enable us to work together to get the best outcome for you. During the evenings our coaches will be available to provide feedback workshops on an individual and group basis, with photos, video playback and notes taken throughout the day to enhance your learning.
